• Lacquers are mainly used to give antique furniture, but well-groomed appearance, noble and rich. In this case, the surface is painted over several times after each layer has completely dried.
• Varnishes are also needed to fix the color and protect the surface from scratches and minor damage.
• Lacquer will be needed even if you decide to paint the chest of drawers antique or in Provence style.

The choice of brushes and roller

After choosing a paint, special attention should be paid to brushes and rollers. Why not save on painting supplies if you decide to update the chest of drawers with your own hands?

• With the right technology for processing the old surface and good painting, the cabinet will maintain its appearance for several years.
• When using bad brushes, you will not save freshly painted furniture from sticking hairs or lint, which is almost impossible to fix imperceptibly.

If your task is to paint a large smooth surface, then to work suitable for both roller and aerosols.

ATTENTION: Do not leave the brushes dry during work, it is better to put them in a jar of water, otherwise they will quickly become unusable

Technologies and methods of painting

Do not forget about other important painting tools and materials such as sandpaper or sander, primer, putty, thinner, and varnish. All this is necessary to comply with the technology of proper staining.

Equipment:

1. Sandpaper different grit is needed for preliminary rubbing of the old layer of paint and surface polishing.
2. Primer needed for sealing small cracks on the surface of wood or chipboard.
3. Putty (you can take a car putty) and a spatula will come in handy if there are deep scratches, chips.
4. A solvent or white spirit is needed to degrease the surface before painting for better impregnation.
5. The varnish performs a protective function and gives the furniture a shine.

In general, preparing a cabinet for painting consists of 5 short but very important steps.

1. To start carefully remove the old paint and with the help of a medium-grained sanding paper (or machines) level the work surface.
2. All dust must be brushed off, but without using wet rags, sponges etc. Otherwise old paint it will only absorb better, and the new one will lie badly.
3. After processing with the finest grain degrease with white spirit(acetone) and apply a primer coat for better adhesion to the paint.
4. If there are large chips, then pre-fill them with putty and rub them to a smooth state. After that, we apply one or two coats of primer.

When you know all the preparation steps, it's time to move on to the main step and figure out how to paint a wooden chest of drawers and chipboard.

Master class number 1. Painting under the stencil

• On the working surface (on the floor) we spread newspapers or a large piece of polyethylene so as not to spoil other furniture.

Step 2

1. We take white enamel and solvent. In a small plastic jar, dilute the paint and solvent according to the instructions on the paint jar.
2. The paint consumption is also written on the bank, it is better to use this information and dilute the required amount immediately. If you mix a little paint, then the second time you can get a different color.
3. Making the background of the picture applying the first coat of paint. Leave until completely dry.

Step 3

1. If the color is saturated and you like it, then take a stencil and put it on the cabinet. Gently glue on the front side and side walls so that there are no bubbles.
2. Shake the spray paint well and spray it on the stencil. For an even color, one layer of blue paint will be enough, so we do everything the first time.

Step 4

While the blue paint dries paint accessories taken from the closet, in gold leaf. After the parts are dry, screw them into place.

We remove the stencil from the closet and place it in the most visible place in the room - because now it deserves special attention!

You can decorate the cabinet under the stencil, for example, with flowers.

Master class number 2. Updating the cabinet from chipboard

This closet looked very cheap as it was designed from chipboard. But we updated it with a beautiful ornament for the children's room, now it can even fit into the interior of high-tech or modern.

Materials and tools

• Prepared cabinet;
• white paint;
• pencil;

3. Take painter's tape and stick it on the front side of the dresser according to your individual idea.
4. We make combinations of triangles along the upper and lower edges, rhombuses in the middle, rectangles in the upper and lower parts. We cut off the strips and make shapes out of them, as shown in the photo.

• We make a rhombus by cutting strips of the same length and placing them perpendicular to each other.
• To make rectangles, first stick the tape evenly, parallel to the cut of the chest of drawers, and using building level and a pencil, mark equal intervals. Cut through one.

TIP: Pay attention to the placement of the fittings (handles, locks) and the gaps between the drawers - let it be symmetrical rather than even.

Step 2

Step 5

The final stage is the application of protective enamel. It will extend the life of the chipboard cabinet and protect against small mechanical influences such as moisture and dust.

And now the stylish wardrobe is ready for active use!

Color options can also be as in the photo below.

Master class number 3. Painting a polished cabinet

Someone can’t believe that from an old polished cabinet you can make such a candy in vintage style, and without loss of functionality. And then it is told how to do it.

Materials and tools.

• Old polished cabinet;
• vintage paint (plain acrylic matte);
• white spirit or acetone;
• brushes;
• sandpaper or grinder;
• golden drawer handles.

Coloring process

Step 1.

Despite the fact that we create a vintage effect, the real shabby chest of drawers is useless. Therefore, we carefully prepare it for painting.

1. To do this, we remove all the old fittings and use a grinder to process the entire surface of the chest of drawers. First we use coarse sandpaper, then fine-grained sandpaper.
2. Puttying and priming is not necessary, except for serious chips on the surface. Degrease the surface with white spirit or acetone, let it dry.

TIP: Since the paint will be applied in several layers, it is very important that it is well absorbed into the wood.

Step 2

1. We cover with the first coat of paint. Very thin, you can not try too hard and leave unpainted places.
2. Rub the first layer of fine-grained sandpaper. We clean from dust, but do not use wet rags, sponges, etc. in the process. Wash only with a dry cotton lint-free cloth.
3. Next, apply a second coat of paint, also rubbing it. Let it dry and rub again a little.
4. So repeat until the color becomes even, but a little rough. For this we used matte paint with vintage effect. After a few days, it will completely absorb and dry out and begin to turn yellow (pay attention to the instructions on the can so that you do not have to repaint everything again later). To avoid this, you can try this staining method on a small and inconspicuous area. Proceed to full coloring when you are satisfied with the result.

If you bought new handles, check if they match your color and screw them into place. Golden brass carved handles with patterns fit the white antique chest of drawers.

Check the chest of drawers for compliance with your requirements - it is still comfortable, beautiful, and here's the paradox - modern. Vintage is in fashion now!

Wallpaper or film

When applying film or any other paper covering to update the cabinet, it should be remembered that we use the cabinet every day. And usually such a coating does not last long, but it is very simple in execution.

Cloth covered

This is the most painstaking way to update the cabinet, when the fabric is stretched over the entire plane. The method is quite outdated. But maybe someone will like it.

Dot painting for a polished cafe

Dot painting is perfect for a polished cabinet. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the varnish and grind the surface. The technique is simple:

• Draw with a marker
• The marker is painted with paint using dots. Details - here.

Ideas for updating the closet

There is no need to buy a new cabinet when the previous one is still quite functional. If the doors no longer look presentable, or you have changed the interior, and the old cabinet does not fit in, change it beyond recognition! All the methods that we list below are suitable for both wardrobes and chests of drawers and even shelving with alternating open and closed sections.

Paste with a film

A self-adhesive film will help hide all the imperfections of cabinet doors or chest of drawers in a couple of elementary steps. The range of films is huge, you can choose one-color or with an interesting pattern, golden or imitating wood. Do not forget to degrease the surface before applying, or even better to sand and cover with a primer layer.

wallpaper

Wallpaper gives more options than film, because they are matte, with a relief and in general for every taste. If desired, you can choose wallpaper, which will visually expand the space. Wallpaper is applied using PVA, the surface must be prepared in advance for better adhesion. You can decorate with wallpaper not only the front doors, but also the internal shelves or the back wall of the cabinet or rack.

Sheathe with fabric

This method looks more even and textured than wallpaper. Cloth is better to fit large elements such as wardrobe doors, fasten furniture stapler or glue. It is interesting to choose leatherette as a fabric for a luxurious look.

Fabrics made from pieces in the patchwork technique will make your closet cozier and help you fit it into a child's room or into such styles as Provence and country. The style can also be embodied with wallpaper or film, if you paste over the drawer panels with materials with different patterns.

paint

Paint will be a real savior in the restoration of furniture. Before applying paint, sand the surface and coat with a primer.

You can just paint the cabinet in 1-2 colors, or you can draw a real picture on it. If you do not have enough artistic abilities for painting, you can make a drawing using a stencil. Geometric lines and shapes are easy to create with masking tape - it will serve as a smooth border for the paint. And for more complex patterns and pictures, the stencil will have to be made specially.

We talked about ways to transfer images to surfaces here:. And by this link detailed instructions for using stencils:

Make a slate surface

stick rivets

To create a brutal effect for a loft or cabinet doors can be decorated with metal rivets or brackets. Nails with decorative caps are also suitable. Let the chest of drawers look like an old chest, and the wardrobe look like a door to a submarine. You can use other metal fittings for decoration, and support the style by coloring or covering with fabric.

Make doors mirrored

Mirrors not only expand the space and add light to the room, but also hide surface imperfections underneath. Any cabinet can be turned into a mirror if you fix one full-height or several small mirrors on its doors. This technique will help in creating an art deco wardrobe.

An alternative option is a mirror mosaic, which will create wonderful highlights.

Add Volume

If you want to achieve a classic look for your wardrobe, all you have to do is stick wooden slats or stucco, and then paint - and the effect will add up. You can stick an inscription carved from wood with words that are meaningful to you or the name of the contents of the box.

A three-dimensional texture can be created with colored sawdust or other similar material: the door is covered with glue, and the sawdust is inflated from above, then everything is fixed with spray varnish. Please note that this surface is very difficult to clean.

Don't forget that on appearance furniture big influence provides accessories. In any case, it is worth replacing the handles, or maybe this will be enough. Lighting can also spice up the familiar look of a cabinet or shelving unit.

materials

The appearance of not only the cabinet, but the entire room depends on the material that is used in the manufacture of the facade. By choosing one or another material, you set the style of the entire interior, or vice versa, make the design as inconspicuous as possible.

Chipboard and MDF

The most commonly used. They have different finishes. Chipboard is laminated or veneered with veneer. Such facades are appropriate if your goal is a relatively discreet interior. But MDF can be painted and applied to the surface of a pattern or relief. The combination of these two materials will somewhat dilute the strict look of the product.

Matelux, or satin - tinted in bulk or transparent glass, etched with acid. They are translucent and opaque.

Lakobel is the most popular glass. A rich palette of colors is created by the paint applied to the back surface.

A hybrid of Matelux and Lakobel - Matelac, the same float glass, colored on one side, and frosted with acid on the other.

Acrylic glass is the most well-known plastic, has excellent light transmission and is available in a wide range of colors. It can be of any degree of transparency and gloss, as well as different textures. All of its advantages include safety, durability. Matte on both sides, particularly resistant to minor damage. Glossy with flat surface looks like stained glass. Plexiglas, or mirror acrylic, can be used as mirror inserts.

natural materials

Bamboo and rattan. Rattan and bamboo slabs add a natural, “natural” character to the interior. Rattan is a woven fabric of a palm tree. Bamboo is lightweight and durable, especially appreciated by Feng Shui connoisseurs.

Color solutions and design

In order for the wardrobe to become a harmonious interior detail, it is necessary to take into account the colors that are already used in the room. It is better that these colors are combined or work in contrast. You should not use more than two colors in the design of the cabinet, especially if there are other colors in the interior. Otherwise, the room will turn out to be too saturated in color and will tire.

If you plan a large wardrobe, it is important to distribute the color load throughout the room.

Color inserts, horizontal or vertical stripes, will help adjust the dimensions of the cabinet relative to the room.

In inexpensive monophonic models, you can use contrasting inserts, the color of which will be supported by other interior elements.

Colors are conventionally classified into two groups: warm and cold. A particular color can affect mood and sensations:

• a ruler from yellow to green is conducive to calmness, relaxation: living room;
• shades of blue are conducive to sleep: bedroom;
• blue can significantly lower mood, cause melancholy;
• purple, on the contrary, can bring peace;
• white can cause a feeling of cold, but visually enlarge the furniture;
• red will add energy, but the furniture will “weight”;
• light shades of gray are conducive to business communication;
• yellow and orange have a high stimulating property;
• pink - lightness, romanticism, often used in bedrooms and bathrooms;
• brown - warm and cozy, conducive to relaxation;
• black is elegant but in large numbers may cause anxiety.

Choice color design wardrobe is an important issue that must be approached with all seriousness. In order to avoid mistakes, it is better to consult with a designer who will provide options that are most suitable for the type of room and interior.

The design of the facades of the wardrobe depends on the choice of material, the method of filling the facades with it and color solution. In addition to all sorts of combinations of various materials, facades can be decorated with decor. Here are the most popular ways that are now in trend:

Glass sandblasted facades. They are made on the equipment by applying a pattern by sandblasting. Sandblasting is a jet of air with quartz sand, supplied under pressure. There are two main versions: matte pattern on a mirror surface or mirror pattern on a matte surface. With deep application, when both sides are processed, a three-dimensional pattern is obtained. Other methods include the “Amalgam” method (the pattern is made on the amalgam of the mirror) and color matting (after the pattern is sandblasted, the matte surface is painted).

Photo printing. In this design method, a pattern is applied to the filling material with special paint. The composition of the paint prevents its spreading and ensures maximum realism of the picture. A film or varnish is applied on top for protection.

Milling. MDF is used for milling, natural veneer without a pattern. Milling is through, superficial, deep. Modern technologies allow you to draw a picture of any complexity.

Sliding wardrobe in an interior baguette. If you decide to decorate the facade in a baguette, you will get a cabinet that will look like a picture in an expensive frame. Pressed polystyrene baguettes are covered with a film that imitates gilding or stained wood.

Sliding wardrobe with half-timbered elements. This way of decorating imitates its brutal prototype - a half-timbered house.

Designer painting on glass, film stained glass, fusing, beveli, batik, fresco - the list of facade design can be continued, and it is constantly supplemented with interesting and unusual novelties. Famous architects and designers such as Pierro Lissoni and Antonio Citterio often participate in the creation of facade samples for manufacturers.
